I'm just typing in the cucumber code and thinking about behaviour. Trying to
use it to do the full user story first, but in an executable way. It *feels*
ok, but I won't know better until I get agreement and start building.

As an aside, it did occurr to me a while ago that the old dream of a
software factory could come true here, as in cucumber is used for specing
(plus some basic DB design), and you get a first pass app by following the
rest of the process after passing it on to the next person in the chain. A
lot of the tutorials focus on the "lone developer" and I think it would be
interesting to see if it can be used collaboratively, particularly over
different locations or as part of a dialogue between a savvy customer and a
development team. Not done more than speculate at the moment, though.

The process would be the customer refining the cucumber scripts and getting
closer and closer to their app. Still need a good CSS person to do the final
skin though. Just a thought.

Thanks and regards,

Francis
